This is my special entry for the 2003 MTMG Expo.   It represents my best work to date.

=====================================================

       Cherry Bomb description:

  Cherry Bomb is a high-detailed twin engine roadster show model.  it was inspired by the TWINMILL hotwheel toy die-cast metal car, and the INVADER show car

  (I built a model of INVADER once in 1975...I finally saw the real Invader car a few years ago at a Good Guys auto show).

       Cherry Bomb features:

* 100% scratch-built aero-roadster body.
* Canted twin DOGGE-RACING engines with tuned-port injection, and animated belts, pulleys & alternator.
* Detailed interior with full gauges, 6-speed shifter, deep-dish steering wheel and custom seats.
* In-dash stereo radio/CD with component speakers (woofers/tweeters)
* Semi-transparent tinted windshield.
* Fan-cooled wide low-profile radiator vented out through the top of the nosepiece.
* 4-into-1 headers routed to 4 tailpipes in the back of the car.
* Rectangular stalk-mounted headlights (non-removable mtm2 shock struts hidden inside).
* Engine air-intakes fed through the nose by air filters on each side of the radiator (look inside!)
* Functional dashboard gauge lights work with the headlights/tail-lights.
* Center-dashboard mounted rear-view mirror.
* Independant suspension axles (simulated) with 3D coil-over spring shocks and quick-gear-ratio-change differentials.
* GOODYEAR tires on CRAGAR-style aluminum wheels with drilled & slotted disc brakes.
* The windshield, & the holes in the frame rails and steering wheel spokes use transparent textures.
* "WOOF" signature license plate.
* "CHERRY BOMB!" wav sound file is a clip of the Runaways song of the same name (idea by Phineus).
* Model parameters fine-tuned for great neutral handling (recommend using HARD suspension only)
